3.0

A book about violent cops that doesn't do much to critique the system of policing but does talk about the corruption of money. Although perhaps you could read more positively into the discussions around imposed necessity of accepting certain violence and the failures of idealism than I did. It has a humorous voice and is often unrealistic, like it doesn't try to have much realism (which is fine if that's what you like, I just found certain parts confusing). I wish there was more of an analysis of disability because it approaches the topic in several ways but I felt like it never really says too much beyond the fact that disabled people face multiple different forms of oppression.
